Michael Bolger is an Editor, Director and Writer - He’s been editing with Full Lock Media since 2021. He was previously an editor at the WITH Agency and an AVID Certified Instructor at the Georgia Film Academy. He has a Master’s Degree from SCAD Atlanta and a Bachelor’s from William Paterson University. Michael has directed and edited numerous projects ranging from short films, commercials, online videos, brand films, music videos, real-estate videos, interviews, live performances and much more. His edited works have been shown around the world at multiple film festivals.
Outside of film, Michael recently got married to his wife, Natasha and the two traveled to Hawaii and India. Both of them work in film and their home life involves drinking chai, binging shows and fostering bunnies (visit Georgia House Rabbit Society if you’re interested too).
Michael is originally from New Jersey (it’s Taylor Ham, not Pork Roll) and spent two years in Virginia before venturing to Georgia. He is a New York Giants fan despite their many attempts to make him sad. He is a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, enjoys singing and playing guitar and has an unhealthy obsession with Star Wars. His goal is to continue to grow as a Director and Editor and continue to share his experiences with the next generation of filmmakers.
